On the Baptism/Birth/Christening records, should we separate the "christian" name and the "heathen" name with "Or" ?

    It would probably be good if you shared your batch code so we could see exactly what you are referring to. The batch code is the group of letters and numbers at the end of your batch title, something like MO99-ABC.

    I did open a batch from this project and went through all of the instructions and examples and I found no indication that you should be using or in the situation you are referring to.

    I did find the following instruction with one of the examples:

    Names may have been written in more than 1 place in the document. Look for the most complete version of the name to type in the indexing field. My thinking is that those are just parts of the persons complete name the same as Robert William Jones.

    I hope this is of some help to you.🙂
